Poor SO :(

[Awkward]

SO just called me. His memere (grandmother) passed away a few minutes ago after a about a year of decline from a variety of age related illnesses. His mom was taking care of her for the last few months without any help. I'm kind of relieved, his mom really needed a break.

SO knew it was coming, but he's understandably upset. He grew up in the same house with her until his last year of high school. I'm getting in the car first thing in the morning to be with them. I offered to drive up tonight but he doesn't want me driving until 2 in the morning. He had to leave a message for his sister in FL to call him back.

I hate that he had to lose his last grandparent during the holidays.

Thanks guys, it means a lot.

This was the same grandmother that said I was too fat for cake the first time I met her. But even with the dementia she still knew who I was the last time I saw her about a month ago. No idea who her own daughter was, but she said she remembered "the big girl."
